]]>Now that everyone has had some time to play around with the new Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, we are starting to hear more in-depth reviews. Let’s take a look at the features getting the most attention.

The S9 and S9 Plus include improved biometrics. TechRadar.com is “incredibly impressed with the upgrade Samsung has brought with the biometric unlocking of the Galaxy S9 – the idea to fuse all the options together is a really neat one.”

The TechRadar team must have loved the S9 Plus as well, because it was awarded “Best in Show” at the MWC 2018 Awards. “The Galaxy S9 Plus is easily the best phone at the show here – Samsung might not have brought a huge upgrade to its previous models, but they were already so far ahead of the pack in many ways that it didn’t need to.”

Not to be outdone by its big brother, the Galaxy S9 was awarded the Best Performing Smartphone Display Award by DisplayMate.com. In giving the S9 screen its “highest ever A+ grade,” DisplayMate found the color accuracy is “visually indistinguishable from perfect.” Fortune.com agrees, saying the S9 has “the best-looking screen you can get on a smartphone.”

The new Samsungs have some fun features as well. If the iPhone X’s Animoji wasn’t your thing, the S9 and S9 Plus come with the AR Emoji. Like the Animoji, the AR Emoji captures your likeness using the camera. And while TheVerge.com writes “the tracking isn’t nearly as precise,” it is a person and, so, will solve the problem of your not-quite-right Bitmoji.

An obvious improvement on both the S9 and S9 Plus is the repositioned fingerprint scanner. It is now below the camera, rather than to the side, “which should,” according to The Verge, “make it much easier to use, especially on the larger S9 Plus.” Unlike the fingerprint scanner, not all features of the new Galaxy phones are alike. The Verge found it interesting “how there are more things different between the smaller S9 and larger S9 Plus this year, which might make it harder for those looking for a compact phone with all of the bells and whistles.”

Personalized Samsung Galaxy S9 Case

If you are in the market for a new Samsung, it is worth a look. You will be dropping a pretty penny to enjoy the new features, so make sure to keep your device protected with a custom Samsung Galaxy S9 case or S9 Plus case. Make it yours and emblazon your personalized case with your new AR Emoji or a pic of your pup…whichever suits you.

Famed fashion designer, Coco Chanel believed “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

Have you ever wondered what first impression you give? Do your interests, beliefs and fashion preferences align with what you portray to the world? Does your fashion sense reflect the way you live? What does your style say about you?

Maybe we don’t always ask ourselves these questions, but we are reflecting the answers daily.

Who are we? Sure, there are the deep, meaningful and beautiful parts of us – the parts that can’t be seen, only learned through time. The goal is to exude some of those characteristics on a first impression. A quick glimpse of your persona when someone has a first look.

Which Are You?

Trendsetter:You aim to be different than everyone else. You are creative and do everything with thoughtful intention. Your friends look to you for guidance.

Freestyler:You go with the flow. Everything makes sense in your mind, even if others think you are disorganized. You have eclectic taste and surround yourself with things that ‘speak to you.’ You are easy to love and accept people exactly how they are.

Adventurist:You are always up for an adventure. Your passport is full of stamps and you have miles and miles of frequent flier points. You are spontaneous and will try anything once.

Bleeding Heart:Your day is built around helping people. You are involved in multiple causes-not just through donation, but with action. You quite literally wear your heart on your sleeve, your tee shirt, your bumper, etc. When a friend is in need, you are the first to help.

Wordsmith:You have a way with words and express yourself every chance you get. You carry journals in your bag and have favorite quotes and phrases plastered around to read. You are trustworthy and thoughtful.

Love Bug: You are always taking pictures. You surround yourself with photos of family, friends and pets and you hold 1000s of images on your smartphone. Everyone knows exactly how you feel about them…because you tell them.

Modernist: You are clean and simple. You avoid ruffles and extras. You live an uncluttered life. You are a loyal friend who always says exactly what you mean.

Case Station gives you the tools to reflect who you are on your smartphone case. A custom iPhone case or a personalized Samsung case is the perfect canvas to show people what you are about. What would Coco Chanel have had on her smartphone case? What will you carry in your pocket? Give the world a glimpse! Create Your Own!

It’s that time of year when finding the perfect gift sometimes eludes us. What do you give the people on your list that seem to have everything? Or those who you want to impress with your grand gift giving skills? Giving greatly can be easily accomplished by keeping three things in mind.

First, what do you want your gift to say? Gifts are a form of appreciation and communication. A personal gift like a custom iPhone case with a trendy artist design, says, I know you, I know your sense of style, and I want to give you something you will love. A personalized Samsung case with a special photo reminds the recipient of a special moment you shared together and conveys your appreciation of the friendship. When you are making your lists, consider the recipient, your relationship with them, and exactly what message you are trying to declare.

Second, what do they need? Take a look at the lifestyle of the person you are gifting. Give a gift that could help make their life easier–better even. Maybe you have a friend who rushes around and is always running out of power on their phone…consider a Battery Pack or a Charge & Sync Key Cable. Have any clumsy friends? Buy them a tough case for their iPhone or Samsung. By filling a void, you just may be gifting your friend time in their day or extra money in their pocket.

Third, give a piece of yourself. A personalized gift like a custom apple watch band or a personalized iPhone case lets your friends and family know you took the time and gave their gift some thought. Leave behind a piece of yourself with every gift you give this holiday season. Top it off with a special message letting them know exactly why they are important.

When you scroll through the pages of Case Station on your grand mission to Giving Greatly, think about all of the creative ways you can succeed. Create a personalized case for the Pet Lover on your list. Find something perfect for your techy friend, like a Charge & Sync Cable. Give the writer on your list a beautiful Custom notebook with an inspiring pattern. That friend of yours who is always singing…gift him a bluetooth speaker. If you take a little time, you will succeed at gifting greatly.

And I promise, Giving Greatly feels better than receiving. Happy Holidays to You and Yours.

]]>Peter Woodd is the Global CEO for Case Station. He is not your ordinary CEO, sitting in an office and not wanting to be bothered with the daily happenings of his business. He is aware of all of it. He is in it from start to finish. I have known and worked with Peter for the past three years, and I can personally validate his passion for getting it right, no matter what. He looks at his life as and adventure, and working with him daily, I can tell you it is. Here is what he had to say…

ME: Tell me how you first got involved with product personalization?

PETER: Many moons ago while working in the security printing industry we and others developed the production processes and security systems cards, for the manufacture of credit cards, driving licensees, secure ID cards and the like. It was all about personalization – the high front-end of the security printing industry. Personalization evolved in the security print industry and I became fascinated with personalization and its commercial opportunities.

ME: What has surprised you most about Case Station?

PETER: The emotional response of the individual. I totally misread how emotionally engaged customers were with the photos or designs they wanted to use to create cases of their own. And the reality is, we are sharing the responsibility for something that has a big emotional meaning. The evolution of the one to one relationship with the customer is paramount in our business. For us, the quality of the product is very, very important. We are creating cases with pictures of people’s kids, grandkids, emotional events, and it is a great responsibility. I am always surprised when people elect to use cheap products with low resolution images and poor case quality. Our products are guaranteed for life because we build in quality at every step and we expect them to last.

ME: What is your favorite thing about Case Station?

PETER: It is exciting that we actually get to share our developed technology, and make people happy. The customer feedback is amazing. We are a sustainable business and believe that businesses should undertake a responsible role in the community by providing opportunities for young people. We want to provide jobs and careers. We have team members working in the UK, three of whom are ex-army. They were released from the military after sustaining injuries and they are now a necessary part of our Case Station team. We also employee those whom some may classify as being physically disabled, but they all fulfill a very important role in the business. Case Station provides careers for those it employs, and joy for those who receive the products it produces. It’s a win-win situation all around.

ME: Tell me about some of the people you’ve met while launching Case Station globally?

PETER: I have met people from around the world, and have learned something from each one. The business model evolved as a result of a number of years working in an international environment—and the belief that everybody around the world is pretty much the same. From that, the idea of creating an in-country business with a local partner evolved. The concept just grew and grew. When people knew what the aim of the business was, to manufacture and create business in country, it just became inspiring and took off. It developed its own momentum. We have had more successes than we have had failures. There is a risk in this space, but every partner has been able to add value to the Case Station business locally, and, most importantly, they have created local employment in their communities.

ME: What do you think will change for Case Station over the next five years?

PETER: I think It will be more of an evolution of our core technology. I imagine enabling the consumer to be able to go online and actually play a part in the creation of gifts. It may be in respect to wanting to design their own space. Create their own style. Our objective is to work closer and closer with people and to enable them to evolve their own style – whether it is through their mobile devices or whether it is done at their home.

ME: If you weren’t bringing personalization to the world, what would you be doing instead?

PETER: Life is a creative process. I spent a lot of time restoring old properties. I spent time restoring yachts. Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what you do, life has to be an adventure. Whatever you do, if you can create something that has a personal benefit and a secondary benefit to others- you have succeeded.

ME: How would someone describe you?

PETER: I tend to be a little relentless in terms of getting things done. But the trick always is to satisfy every dimension….the customer and the people that I work with. I think you can be born with the headset to push hard. I think I have always had that drive. When you find that thing….then success comes from wanting something so badly that time becomes irrelevant. I do a lot of visualization and my mindset is always positive. I just see opportunities and I don’t see that it is going to be tough. There is always a positive outcome to every problem. I have never had issues with taking responsibility and putting in the time to work with the crew to fix issues and meet targets.

We all take on responsibilities for servicing customers’ needs…doing whatever it takes, and we always meet our obligations. I believe the key is to be passionate, it is so empowering working with a great crew that care and put in the effort to deliver excellent quality and service internally and externally. And not to forget that it’s important to have fun in the process, to be truthful and honest to yourself and others.

ME: What do you do when you aren’t working?

PETER: I race a yacht. I don’t stay at home long enough for my wife to be irritated with me. I walk with my wife, and take the dogs for a walk. I don’t look at my life as work. It is definitely not work. It is an adventure. I met so many people when I was in the aerospace industry where it was all about work, but where they couldn’t wait to retire. Life is far too interesting, far too challenging, far too exciting… to contemplate the idea of retiring.

ME: Who is your greatest influence?

PETER: The most important person would be Charlotte, my amazing and lovely wife. She always offers friendship and support. She is inspirational. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We have two great kids. My family are the source of daily inspiration, they have always been part of the adventure, the journey. This journey I made with them, would not have been possible without them. I am fortunate to work with great people and friends – no journey should be alone in life. Sharing the same values, same excitement, same adventure is inspiring. The list is endless, but Bob Skelly has been very much part of my life, our life…and 6 years ago, much to our mutual disappointment (ha ha) we became family, well almost. Experience in life has always demonstrated that there is a power, a force, that is greater than us. We can call this force of goodness…God or depending on our belief, another name, but it is a force. The people that devote their lives to representing their God, whoever they may be, doing good and making a difference for the good of others are truly inspirational .

ME: What has been your biggest life challenge?

PETER: Getting up before 7am. Ha Ha. Dealing with people that have no integrity, are dishonest, and want to leverage people for their own personal benefit.

ME: What’s on your case right now?

PETER: The Hulk with my name on it. Just incase I get lost anywhere. My address is on the inside…Ha ha. Not really, but maybe it should be.

I asked Bob Skelly, Chairman, to tell me something people may be surprised to know about Peter Woodd. The two have known each other for decades and have travelled the world together, if anyone would have an inside scoop…he would.

BOB: Peter is, as one might gather from the above, a very forthright individual, and, if there are any elements of “surprise” in working with him, they wear off pretty quickly. To my mind, Peter’s management style and commitment to success is solidly based on his long experience in competitive sailing, often at close quarters in dangerous conditions where the margins for error are vanishingly small. At bottom, in those situations, it is vital that all aboard understand their individual duties and carry them out quickly and without unneeded comment. The same applies in his approach to business, especially in a global business committed to the quality of its products and the services that it provides. It is no surprise, therefore, that Peter has a portrait of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson prominently displayed as a reminder of Nelson’s signal to his fleet before the battle of Trafalgar that “England expects that each man will do his duty”.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, everybody!! The holidays are looming just around the corner and that means it’s time to engage gift mode, ASAP. Don’t be a typical dude who waits until the last minute. Let this year be the beginning of the rest of your gift-giving life where you’re considerate and plan out the perfect thing for that special someone…even if that special someone is you!

Personalized iPhone Case

Today we’re going to be talking about tech gifts. With so much of our lives becoming technical, it’s awesome to have a company like Case Station. They’re an accessory brand that specialize in all things smart phone and Apple Watch. Whether it’s a custom strap or case, they’ve got you covered…literally. I’ve partnered with them for today’s blog post to show off some of the amazing pieces that I’ve gotten from them and to discuss how they would make a great gift.

If you’re in a relationship, I can absolutely guarantee that your significant other would love a completely customized phone case. Look at the header image. Do you see that hilarious photo of Jaclyn and I where her hair is blowing in her face? That’s a bluetooth speaker and the cover was custom printed with our picture. It takes an already cool item and makes it something special. It’s not the most flattering picture we’ve ever taken, but it still makes me smile every time I look at it because it reminds me of standing on a bridge in freezing cold Cincinnati weather trying to do a photoshoot.

Getting something custom made is almost like making a gift yourself…except it won’t suck, haha. I know I’ve tried to make gifts in the past and fallen short. It’s good to know that you can absolutely rely on the product to be top notch quality.

Personalized Apple Watch Band

I’d recommend doing a phone case as those are something you look at all of the time. However, for a phone case you might not want to do a super silly photo for that same reason. Your lady isn’t going to want everyone seeing that funny face she made on the couch while you were watching TV. Save the silly stuff for things you won’t be sharing with the world in the way that you do a phone case. Pick a cute photo that the two of you took on a memorable date or pick one of your pets. I made one for Jaclyn with a picture of our girls on it and she’s in love. It’s on her phone right now.

Even if you’re single, you can still create something totally unique, like this “Heard Any Good Jokes Lately?” case that I made.

Going further down the customization rabbit hole, Case Station does really cool Apple Watch bands. This has been where I’ve had the most fun getting creative. A watch strap is an easy way to throw a pop of color into an otherwise simple outfit. Maybe you work in an office, but still want to add a bit of personality into your look? Check out some of the bands that I’ve made…

This black and white strap is a lot of fun as a statement piece. It’s really simple, but different than something you’d normally see.

Custom Apple Watch Band – Monochrome Woven

This orange and blue strap is actually a photograph I took years ago of the sun setting over the beach. I flipped it vertically and made a cool band out of it. The possibilities are endless. The more creative you can get, the better the gift will be.

They’ve also got some really great pre-set designs as well if you don’t feel like finding a photo. You can put one on any of their accessories. If you’re getting your person a new iPhone X (which if so…go you!), then get them a really cool case to go along with it!

Custom Apple Watch Band-Tailored Houndstooth

Lastly, Case Station has some pretty cool tech accessories that aren’t just cases and bands. For instance…

That gray loop is actually an iPhone charging cord! It has a USB on one end and a lightning input on the other so you can plug your phone in on the go. I love how short it is. It comes in handy a lot.

Ultimately, the moral here is that gifting is important. You should be aware of how special you can make someone feel by putting in a little bit of extra work. Going custom is best, and Case Station has you covered, but even if you don’t go custom…they’ve got an option for you.

Be the gift giver you would like to be gifted from. That’s a good rule of thumb. I hope you enjoyed this and it sparked some ideas for you!

]]>We are absolutely mad for the new iPhone X, except for one little thing…all of the talk regarding drops. Yikes. If you have slippery fingers or lack coordination, you may want to take some simple precautions with your new iPhone X. It is a hefty investment and a fine piece of technology, worth a little extra care. You wouldn’t ride down a busy street without donning your helmet, so don’t submit your poor iPhone X to your hectic lifestyle without a little protection of its own. If you do one thing today…put a case on your iPhone X…An iPhone X tough case!

Vanessa Hand Orellana of cnet.com writes, “The iPhone X can probably handle your everyday wear and tear, but dropping it without a case is out of the question. We learned it only takes one bad drop to break the glass on this phone. Even the stainless steel frame is susceptible to damage” So, on top of the $1000 you paid for your new iPhone X, if you drop your phone, you will need to replace the glass back. And, that cost will set you back a pretty penny. According to Sean Hollister at cnet.com, “if you break the glass back, Apple will charge $550 to replace it.”

Or, you can spend less than 10% of the repair fee on a case. Hmm.

Luckily, its easy to keep your new iPhone X safe. Simply make a personalized iPhone X tough case and set your worries aside. What’s a Tough case? It is exactly that, tough. The Case Station Tough Case is built for the lifestyle that requires a little extra armor, and in this case, the iPhone X and its glass. Engineered using two layers for premium durability and protection, the Tough case is virtually indestructible. The shock absorbing liner protects your phone against impact. The Tough is made for life. Real life.

Now, if you throw your phone out of a moving vehicle, I am not going to promise a soft landing, but, hopefully you are not that reckless with your investments. Tough case is made for life, and you can expect it to protect your new iPhone X. I would also suggest a liquid glass screen protection like Nano Pro. I tend to throw my phone in my bag, so, the Nano Pro protection helps keep the scratches away.

A word to the wise, direct from cnet.com…“If you just spent $1,000 or more on an iPhone X, put a case on it now!”
